I think that's a good thing when the principles are worth it. :-)
- sdegutis 11y agoI understand and respect that position. In the specific cases of both China and GNU though, I think the principles are misguided and naive.
- preid24 11y agoWould you say the same about the BSDs, who have rewritten software because it was under the GPL?
- sdegutis 11y agoI understand and respect their position too, and while I think it's probably a waste of time and effort, I think they're a little less misguided than the GPL group. I use both GPL and BSD tools every day, so I'm mostly indifferent.
- civodul 11y agoFree software aims to safeguard the freedom and autonomy of computer users. I think these are important features.
